It all comes down to your self image. Everyday, without conscious intention or action, the self image acts as a mental program to bring you consistent experiences that match your perceptions of life. It's what determines your model of reality. Most importantly, the level of success you've attained to this day is based on the quality of the characteristics that make up your self image.

“When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.” - W. Clement Stone
